Education Solutions:

DAQFactory is used in a large number of universities, colleges, and secondary schools, both as a research and teaching tool. On the research end, these educational institutions use DAQFactory just like their professional counterparts, taking advantage of its flexibility in data acquisition, logging, real-time display, trending, control and alarming. The ease of using DAQFactory is also a big advantage, as students want to spend their time doing the research. Compared with other applications, DAQFactory offers no on-screen wiring, a much easier learning curve, and the ability to make changes without stopping an experiment to recompile. A new data point, graph, or change in script can be made while continuing to take, view and log data, and run other automation loops. The price point for cost conscient universities is also a big plus.

Many different departments have taken advantage of DAQFactory's power. This includes the pure sciences such as physics, chemistry, and environmental sciences, and the many different engineering disciplines. Here are a couple white papers with examples:

University Department of Aviation Sciences and DAQFactory
High School Science Project: Nanowire Synthesizer and DAQFactory

DAQFactory also provides an excellent tool to teach future control engineers HMI and SCADA software. DAQFactory offers all the major features of a SCADA application, from acquisition and logging, to flexible display and trending, to alarming, to supervisory control. Plus, AzeoTech offers large discounts on its software for educational institutions using DAQFactory for teaching. Please contact us for more information.

For example, one university in the United Kingdom uses 30 DAQFactory licenses to teach SCADA / HMI systems to students. Another in Canada uses it to teach computer auomation to engineers. For more information about this second example, please read the following white paper:
